Aprilia Storm 125 officially launched at Rs 65,000
The Aprilia Storm started to reach dealerships a week ago, and after revealing the price on its social media, the manufacturer has officially launched the scooter at a price of Rs 65,000 (ex-showroom, India). The Storm was first displayed at Auto Expo 2018, and this production ready variant has undergone a few changes.
Unlike the 14 inch wheel on the Aprilia, the 12-inch alloy wheels on the Storm are of a simpler design than the ones we saw on the scooter at the Auto Expo. It also misses out on a front disc brake and gets a drum brake at either end, with CBS. However, Aprilia has said that a disc brake variant is in the works. Other differences on the production scooter are minor, like the addition of a grab handle and a white Aprilia logo instead of a red one.
While Aprilia has made many changes, almost certainly in order to cut costs, it hasn’t swapped out the Vee rubber off-road-oriented tyres for regular ones. These tyres measure 120/80 at the front and 130/80 at the rear. In comparison, the SR sports 120/70 section rubber at either end, and it recently switched from Vee Rubber to MRF Nylogrip Zappers. The scooter also features the bold graphics from the scooter displayed at the expo.
The bodywork, instrumentation and lights, meanwhile, are identical to the SR 125. So is the engine - it uses the same single-cylinder, three-valve air-cooled unit that makes 9.5hp at 7,250rpm and 9.9Nm of torque at 6,250rpm.
The Storm 125 costs around Rs 8,000 less than the SR 125 and In terms of competition, will take on TVS Entorq 125 (drum brake) that is priced much lower at Rs 58, 252 and the Honda Grazia (drum brake), which costs Rs 60,723 (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi).
